Their first release, 2014's self-titled EP, featured three songs (including debut single "Speak Softly") that would later appear in acoustic form on the Broken Home Sessions EP and the fleshed out Monstrous Things EP, which arrived in 2015
In the summer of 2017, Picturesque issued their debut LP, Back to Beautiful, which included singles "Fake Fiction," "New Face," and "Honestly".
"In the spring of 2020 Picturesque released their Sophomore Album titled "Do You Feel O.K.?" released via Equal Vision Records. Picturesque decided to take a different direction and went with a more alt rock/hard rock route instead of their post-hardcore sound like their debut album "Back to Beautiful." This album includes singles "Necessary," "Crimes," "Swipe," "ATTN:," and "Pray" which acquired more than 4 Million streams on Spotify.
Picturesque is a band that should not be slept on in the scene. They are here to stay and they are here to slay.
Without You
Picturesque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hopefully Heaven exists, it′s what you deserve
I guess it's all perspective
Why can′t you let 'em live?
What if I can't, what if I can′t live without you?
What if I can′t, what if I can't live without you?
Just show me how, show me why
What I can't, what if I can′t live without you?
Lifeless, who says it's time go?
Who says it′s you I hold?
Selfish, who says you're owning things?
Taking 'em by any means
I guess it′s all perspective
Why can′t you let 'em live?
What if I can′t, what if I can't live without you?
What if I can′t, what if I can't live without you?
Just show me how, show me why
Show me something when I can′t decide
What if I can't, what if I can't live without you?
I′ll end it now, wishing for a lifeline
Stuck inside another lifetime
Now, wishing for a lifeline, wishing it was me instead of you
If Heaven′s real, it's made for you
But I′ll never see you again
What if I can't, what if I can′t live without you?
What if I can't, what if I can′t live without you?
Just show me how, show me why
Show me something when I can't decide
What if I can't, what if I can′t live without you?
Without you?
The lyrics in Picturesque's song Without You describe the pain and struggles of losing someone you love. The first stanza represents the singer's struggle to find the right words to express their grief and their hope for an afterlife where their loved one can reside. The notion of perspective is presented as a question to the listener - why can't we give others space to live their life? The second stanza compares someone dealing with loss to a lifeless body, but the singer doesn't want to let go of the hold their loved one has over them. The concept of possession and control is brought up as the singer asks who is the one who decides when it is time to let go.
The chorus of the song delves further into the singer's struggle with their emotions. They cannot imagine living without their loved one and need guidance to get through. The repetition of "what if I can't" emphasizes their distress and frustration with the situation. They ask for someone or something to show them how to deal with their inability to decide what to do next. The bridge of the song highlights the finality of death and how it impacts the singer's life. They wish that they could reverse the situation and that it was themselves, not their loved ones, who had passed on. However, the final realization sets in that they will never see their loved one again.
